Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEM) ("Constantine" or the
"Company") is pleased to report on the recently completed five hole, 1182 meter,
drill program at the Company's 100% owned Golden Mile property ("Golden Mile" or
"the Property") in Timmins, Ontario. Golden Mile is a large, 68 square kilometer
property located 9 kilometers northeast of Goldcorp's multi-million ounce Hoyle
Pond deposit and covers the projection of the Pipestone Fault System on the
north margin of the Timmins gold camp that has produced more than 55 million
ounces of gold.
Drilling confirmed the presence of a major structure interpreted to be a western
extension of the Pipestone fault, which is associated with important gold
mineralization along trend to both the east and west of the Golden Mile
property. Strongly altered ultramafic rock units were intersected in contact
with a graphitic shear zone and pyritic sediments in the two drill holes
designed to test the interpreted structural contact. Notably, neither the
structure nor the altered ultramafics intersected in these drill holes had been
previously identified on government geology maps. The drilling yielded some
weakly anomalous gold and management is encouraged by the identification of an
important structure, alteration with associated pathfinder geochemistry, veining
and permissive rock units known to be important hosts for mineralization within
the Timmins gold camp.
The Golden Mile property is located in an excellent geological and structural
setting within the high-grade Timmins gold camp, and has received only limited
historic drilling owing to extensive overburden cover. These new drill holes,
which tested only a small portion of the project area, provide important data
for further targeting and exploration of the property.
The exploration program was funded by Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") pursuant
to an Option and Joint Venture Agreement (see news release dated May 9, 2012 for
Agreement terms). Teck has notified Constantine they are relinquishing their
rights to earn an interest in the Golden Mile project, and the Option and Joint
Venture Agreement has been terminated. Constantine would like to thank Teck for
funding approximately $1.4 million in exploration expenditures on the project
over the past two years. This work has provided an excellent stepping stone for
future advancement and discovery on the large, well located land package.
